The US version uses a dual filament bulb to provide a second parking light
in combination with the turn signal in the outermost spot.  This is to
comply with the US regulation of having parking lights visible on the side
of the car as well.  Therefore, when you use the euro tail light with the US
bulb holder you end up with an amber parking light.  The Euro setup forgoes
this second parking light.  I just put a piece of electrical tape over the
second contact of the US bulb holder.  No big deal.
